With gcc-7, we get various warnings about a possible string overflow:

I have checked these all and found that the driver-private
shortname strings for mixart and pcxhr are longer than necessary,
and making them shorter will be safe while also making it clear
that no overflow can happen when they get passed as a substring
into the card shortname.

For hdspm, we have a local buffer of the same size as its substring.
In this case, making the buffer a little longer is safe as the
functions that take it as an argument all use length checking and
the strings we pass into it are actually short enough.

Thanks for the patch.  I have seen it but ignored, so far, as not sure
which action is the best.  An alternative solution is to use
snprintf() blindly, for example.

For mixart, it's even better to drop mgr->shortname[] and longname[]
assignment.  The shortname is the fixed string, and the longname is
used only at copying to card->longname, so we can create a string
there from the scratch.

I've done that now, and tried to be a little smarter with the other
conversions. I also found related problems in ISA drivers after
randconfig testing and fixed those as well.

Sent a 7-patch series now as a replacement.
